Jeremy Moody, 30, and his wife, Christine Moody, 36, were arrested early Wednesday and charged with murder in the deaths of Charles "Butch" Parker, 59, and his wife, Gretchen Parker, 51.

On Monday, deputies said two charges of kidnapping, two charges of possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime and burglary were filed against the couple.

Bond was denied on the new charges during the bond hearing.

Union County Sheriff David Taylor said the Moodys killed Butch Parker because he was a registered sex offender, and they intended to kill another sex offender on Wednesday.

The Moodys were booked early Wednesday and are each charged with two counts of murder. In court on Monday evening, a judge denied bond to both of them.

Taylor told reporters more charges could come on Thursday, but he would not elaborate.

Taylor was also expected to announce on Thursday if surveillance video taken by a security camera set up at the Parkers' home that shows the crime unfolding can be released to the media.

During a news conference on Wednesday, Taylor said Moody told investigators, "This isn't the first time something like this has happened." Taylor said Moody implied he has killed before.

"We’re trying to verify that or disprove that at this time. Right now we don’t know we’re checking into what he has told us to see," Taylor explained.

Taylor said, in his opinion, Moody sees himself as a vigilante. Taylor thinks Moody had the potential to be a serial killer, and investigators still haven't ruled that out.

Taylor said three surveillance cameras owned by the victims were pivotal in making the arrests. He showed a picture of a sign outside the Parkers' home that says, "Posted, No Trespassing, Keep Out," and a second sign saying: "Smile, You're on Camera."

Taylor said the Moodys drove up to the Parkers' house Sunday, and Jeremy Moody opened the hood of the car to make it look they were having car trouble.

The Parkers are seen talking to the Moody for about 10 minutes until they walked back toward the house. Taylor said Christine Moody is seen on tape getting out of the car holding something behind her. Jeremy Moody is recorded holding a handgun as he walked toward the Parkers' home.

Butch Parker was recorded on camera saying, "We don't have any money." Jeremy Moody responded, "I'm not here to rob you. I'm here to kill you because you're a child molester."

"He has admitted to killing both individuals," Taylor said.

Referring to Christine Moody's role, "She was an active participant just as he was. She knew a crime had been committed. She knew the circumstances. The hand of one’s the hand of all," Taylor explained.

Taylor said autopsies Tuesday found that Butch Parker was shot twice, once through the neck and once through the chest, and was also stabbed multiple times. Gretchen Parker was shot in the chest and stabbed multiple times, he said.

Taylor said Moody had "no beef" with Gretchen Parker. She was killed just because she was married to Butch Parker, he said. Taylor called her a "casualty of war."

The sheriff said that Moody had met Butch Parker a year or so ago. Jeremy Moody told investigators Parker was an acquaintance. Moody was on probation for selling prescription drugs. Parker had pending drug charges, according to the Sheriff's Office.

Taylor said Jeremy Moody told investigators he had planned to kill Butch Parker last year but had "chickened out." He said he decided to kill him on Sunday, and he got together the gear he needed for the killing, including a gun, a knife, gloves and boots.

Taylor said after Moody was arrested he said, "It's a good thing you arrested me because I planned to kill another sex offender from the registry today."

The sheriff said several other agencies assisted in the investigation, including the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office, that assisted with enhancing the surveillance video. Investigators said they recovered substantial evidence in the case, including the knife.

Investigators have been in touch with federal prosecutors exploring the possibility that this is a hate crime.

Taylor said that Jeremy Moody has ties to a white supremacist group.

Investigators said Moody is from Union County originally, but he had moved to Philadelphia before moving back about eight years ago.

Investigators said Moody has been on their radar for a while related to the "skinhead connection."

"It’s not every day we go around and see people with tattoos on their neck and under their head. We want to see where they are and what they’re doing," Taylor said.

Taylor said the Sheriff's Office wanted to learn more about Moody's involvement for some time now.

"To see the tattoo on his neck 'skinheads,' I don’t know many people walking around with that tattoo," Taylor said. "We live in a good community. Even a bushel of apples is going to have a bad apple once in a while."
